San Cristóbal Oficios EMA JUL 07: Aged Weekend Review


Recommended Posts

So in light of this weekends generous competition from @El PresidenteI decided to put one of my six remaining San Cristóbal Oficios (EMA JUL 07) to the fire.

First of all, i must say this had one of the most beautiful coloured wrappers I have had the pleasure to incinerate; a deep chocolate with a shimmering red hue to it.

1/3 - The cigar is straight out of the gates with a wonderful cinnamon spice, and a creamy smoke that coats the mouth (no sniggering at the back!). 

2/3 - Woodier notes are coming to the fore, adding to the spice, and surprisingly the aftertaste has leather notes.

3/3 - BINGO, the money shot, a mouthwatering sweetness (maple?) comes out of nowhere, and the cinnamon comes back into it's own. This seriously made me struggle to lay this cigar to rest, and joins only a handful of other's that have left me with sore fingers, and a heavy heart. 

Final thoughts - if this period did indeed leave many in the global Cuban cigar community with a clammy brow, they may now sleep easier at night knowing that age has not diminished this cigar, if anything it has refined it, and brought more discernible tasting notes. :teacher:

The sad news is, that given the above, the five remaining are not going to get much more dust on them, indeed they have had their last Christmas! :yes:
